The four lined up in the living room, balloons attached expertly to the front of their pants while Rachel and two other girls prepared themselves for the competition. The rest of the partygoers had awkwardly circled around the group, some paying more attention than others.
Noah stood at the end of the lineup, cheeks beet red as he stared at the group of onlookers interested in the show. He glanced down at his oversized trousers, grimacing at the red balloon he'd placed to be popped. As much as he wanted to share in the group's enthusiasm, he couldn't help but have second thoughts.
He glanced over at Rachel, who caught his eyes for a moment before giving him an excited smile. She bit her lip nervously. Noah took it as a sign that she was just as nervous as he was.
It was going to be alright, everything was going to be fine. Noah took a deep breath, glancing over at Jack who stood directly next to him. Jack caught his gaze, and gave Noah a playful nudge.
"You ready for this?" He asked. Noah nodded slowly. Uncertain if Jack's question was coming from a place of genuine sincerity.
"Yeah, I think so," Noah said.
"You two ever done something like this before?" Jack asked. Noah shook his head.
"No, I mean... besides the spin the bottle game, no."
"I see..." Jack looked at Rachel, his eyes filling with lustful hunger. "you think she can win?"
"Does it really matter?" Noah asked, unsure how to answer the question. Jack raised his eyebrows in amusement.
"I guess in the greater scheme of things, no it doesn't." He let out a playful laugh and shook his head. "All the same, it is a competition. Rachel seems pretty determined."
"She's always like that," Noah admitted, pleased to feel the tension in his shoulders easing.
"I guess we'll see what she's made of then. Those other two are firecrackers. They know how to make a balloon pop if you catch my meaning."
Noah laughed nervously, only now observing just how attractive the other two women were.
"You're pretty lucky to have a girl who's ok with this kind of stuff," Jack added.
"What do you mean?" Noah asked. Jack glanced over at him.
"Not many women are ok with sharing their man, you know?"
"Oh... yeah."
"...You two did talk about that, right? Rachel's cool with those two touching you?" Jack asked.
Noah's heart began to race. It hadn't occurred to him that if they went through with the entire game, two other women would be touching him. He wondered if Rachel had put it together, and even tried to catch her eyes to see if there was any hesitation. But so far as he could tell, Rachel seemed fine. She laughed with the other two, showing the same levels of excitement she had the last time they played games with the four.
"I mean, she's going to grind up on you guys so..."
"Seems only fair, right?" Jack interjected.
"I think so?" Noah said with a nervous laugh.
"Well, if she breaks up with you in a few days, then I guess we'll have our answer." Jack gave Noah a playful nudge. Noah cleared his throat as he felt his stomach churn.
"Y-yeah, I guess we'll see," Noah answered.
"Well, enough talking, it's showtime," Jack said, stepping towards the three girls. "Alright! Let's go over the rules one more time! You three will be competing against one another to see who can pop the balloons on us the quickest, and you can only use your asses to do it. Remember, it is up to you and you alone to seal the deal and finish us off. However, depending on how exciting your... performance is, we may help you out by thrusting back."
The crowd erupted in laughter. Noah's palms began to sweat as his heart raced in his chest. This was really about to happen, he was about to witness Rachel grind up on the four hottest guys at their college campus. Noah stared at the three women standing opposite to him, each of them the definition of drop-dead gorgeous. But above all three, Rachel stood out like a sore thumb. Her white halter dress caught the elegant curves of her body as she swayed back and forth excitedly. She twirled a strand of her blonde hair around her finger as her gaze passed between the four before finally stopping on Noah. The noise of the crowd faded away as Noah became lost in her gaze. She smiled before blowing him a kiss.
God, he loved that woman.
"Are there any questions?" Jack asked. The girls shook their heads. "Good, so, have you decided who will go first?"
"I will!" Rachel said, stepping forward eagerly. As soon as she volunteered, Noah didn't need to look at the four to feel their excitement. They were finally getting another chance at Rachel, and the onlooking crowd seemed just as excited for the show. Without missing a beat, several guys from the crowd pulled out their phones to begin recording. But before Noah had a chance to protest, Jack spoke up.
"Hey! There will be absolutely NO recording tonight. What happens at this party stays at this party! Mike, grab their phones." Jack said. Mike walked over to the crowd with his beefy arm outstretched, the balloon attached to his crotch comically bouncing back and forth as he snatched up phones quickly.
"That's right you fucks! Give 'em up!" Mike walked between the crowd, snatching every exposed phone before throwing them in a bag. Once he was satisfied, he gave Jack a thumbs up. "We're good my dude!"
"Good, and we'll keep it that way. Any phones pulled out during the game will be taken, and you'll be asked to leave. Got it?!"
The crowd nodded obediently as Mike made his way back into the line.
"Good. Alright Rachel, you ready to begin?" Jack asked.
"Oh my god, yes? I think? Which end do I start on?!" Rachel asked, walking towards the lineup of men cautiously. Her mixture of innocence and excitement was intoxicating. Noah watched as the four looked at her with primal hunger he had seen one too many times.
They wanted her, and they would take any form of her they could get.
"You can start with me if you want," Luke said cooly, running a hand through his long, dirty blonde hair.
"Fuck, that means Noah's going to be fucking last though!" Mike said with a snicker. Noah felt his hands begin to tremble.
"You good with that?" Jack asked him. Noah cleared his throat and nodded slowly.
"Y-yeah, that's totally fine," He said unconvincingly. Hearing his answer, Rachel walked over to him before placing a hand gently on his shoulder.
"Hey," She said softly.
"Hey," Noah answered.
"Are you sure you're ok with this?" She asked. Noah didn't make eye contact with her, he kept his face slumped to the ground as the weight of what he had to endure pressed in around him.
